I have an outdoor lani that has outdoor carpet secure to a wood deck. I want to put carpet tiles over it. My question, will this carpet tape adhere ok

Maybe for a while but there are too many factors working against it lasting more than a few months

This tape is great but I'm not in the flooring business. I use it to stick my business card to garage walls after I do garage door work. It will stick to anything clean or dirty and it sticks to the tools to cut it also. Probably would work good for what it is made for.

My porch had wood screening so I had attached the Flex-O-Glass with wood 1/4" X 1" strips which held well with just staples. It worked awesome against the strongest winter winds off the lake. I don't know how tape would work but would suggest using the strongest you can find like a 2 to 4 mil 3" industrial tape, but you may still have an issue with the adhesive residue after you take it down in the spring.

I have also just used it on my windows. It would need to be attached to something to stay secure. Tape will not stick to it. You would probably have to use nails. Thinking of using this also when I enclose my covered patio. Good luck!

Yes, we bought it to keep an outdoor area rug in place. If it is a painted surface it will peel off the paint when removed.

It may or may not keep your rugs down. I have a 3x7' rug on top of carpet, and it doesn't move. However, I have a oriental 5x8' rug on top of the same carpet, and it still bubbles up in spots on the edges. I had this same oriental rug on top of other carpet in a previous house and the rug never moved, even without tape. I don't think I would buy this tape again. I'd need something stronger. I think a lot of depends on the type of carpet and the type of rug. I don't think it leaves a residue but I'm not positive as I haven't removed a rug yet.

Yes they work outside in the cold, rain, snow etc. Mine are on my deck stairs outside and they have worked flawlessly all winter and it's been below freezing quite often. As for adhesive tape you should be fine. They aren't heavy and have plenty of flat surface on the backs to adhere to.

Yes. I live in Hawaii and have used several sets through a couple of holiday seasons. Instead of utiizing the 3M foam tape on the back, I just use cable ties to attach everything to my lanai railings. Rain and sun haven't had any observable effect. Do be careful not to put kinks or abrupt bends, and (if binding as I do) don't pinch the strip too tightly.

I've only used it on carpet and the carpet was fine. When I pulled up the area rug, the tape was still stuck to the bottom of the area rug.

I have used this tape in an automotive application. The adhesive is very sticky. My opinion would be that gravity would hold the tape in position and any water creeping between the tape would dry during a heat cycle before it could loosen the adhesive. Applied over properly prepped plastic, it wouldn't let any water in between anyway. My only problem was the aluminum separating from the adhesive-imbedded fiberglass.

I had the same situation. On half of it I used 2-sided carpet tape and nothing on the other half. After 4 months I can't tell any difference. The occasional tile (fewer than 10%) in both sections didn't seem to lay perfectly flat so I put two widths of tape underneath them and solve the problem. These tiles are perfect for a basement.

I used it for a vertical application (backing for a velcro spice rack). The carpet tiles work wel but the adhesive is a bit dodgy. would use additional adhesive if you want it to be up long term.

I've found that frequent watering will eventually weaken the adhesive backing, leading to the tape falling off. It's a good, effective product though and will survive light watering and rains. I use it around the bases of my fruit trees, as brown snails are a real pest in Southern California.

I used the adhesive in the marine industry, carpet , vinyl , that are exposed to water often with no problems , not sure if it would hold up with constant water contact but it would be a great product to try , like most 3M stuff it works well

It comes with gaffer tape, and I have it on medium pile carpet. The tape moves a little bit with the carpet, but the strip doesn't move.

Its all carpet so I wouldn't put it outside. I would be afraid the wood would warp also if I got soaked.

This double faced tape will hold if the marble floor surface is clean before putting it down. I think depending on the traffic you can lay strips of this tape side by side for an extra measure of holding power. I have this tape at an entrance sticking carpet to mat and now months later the mad has not moved.

Be sure to place the tape as close to the edge of the rug as possible. That way, the edges lay very flat with no risk of tripping. There is no residue left on the carpet at all. Hope this helps.
